How To Make baked chicken and dumplins

  • Chicken, butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot.
    1
    Place chicken, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cover with water, at least 2 inches over the chicken.
  • Stockpot with a lid on top.
    2
    Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and boil chicken until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. When chicken is done remove from broth and let cool. Reserve broth.
  • Cooked chicken shredded.
    3
    When cool, shred chicken into pieces.
  • Melted stick of butter in a measuring cup.
    4
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1 stick butter. Pour butter into 3 quart baking dish.
  • Shredded chicken on top of the butter.
    5
    Spread chicken on top of butter. Set aside.
  • Flour and milk whisked together.
    6
    In a separate bowl, whisk flour and milk together.
  • Milk mixture poured over the chicken.
    7
    Carefully pour evenly over top of chicken, scraping bowl clean.
  • Chicken broth, cream of celery soup, sour cream, and spice mixture poured over chicken.
    8
    Using the same bowl whisk together 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth, cream of celery soup, sour cream and savory. Carefully pour this mixture over top of chicken and flour mixture.
  • Chicken and Dumplins baking in the oven.
    9
    Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a golden brown. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Then pour the remaining 1 cup reserved chicken broth evenly over the top. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until the broth has "soaked" into the chicken and dumplins.

    NOTE: Baking time may vary depending the type of baking dish used. I use a Pampered Chef stoneware baking dish to bake this recipe. Stoneware retains heat and usually bakes dishes quicker than glass, metal or ceramic. Therefore, bake time may need to be adjusted.
